Echelon is a custom survival server that tries to stay simple and familiar. It does not need any mods or special client stuff so you just join with normal Minecraft and play. The gameplay is meant to feel like regular survival but smoother and cleaner.
A lot of the server is built around the players. There is a suggestion system in game where you can type a command and write your ideas in a book. The staff looks at these and uses them to improve the server over time.

I found this server called Everbloom SMP Network and it has two different ways to play so it feels like you can pick what you like.
The Everbloom Survival side is more intense. The season starts on 13th December and it has full farming and redstone support. You can also use the nether roof. PvP is on and raiding is allowed so you always have to watch your base. There is a 75k world border and only diamond gear is used and there are no maces so it stays pretty balanced.
The Everbloom Casual SMP is for people who just want to chill and build or explore. There is no PvP no griefing and no raiding at all. It has custom terrains and structures but still keeps a vanilla feel. You can build farm and create with other friendly players.
The whole place feels relaxed and wholesome and the community is focused on creativity and cooperation. It is good if you want either a peaceful survival world or a more risky raiding style world in the same network.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
